Quite an unbelievable ad here, created by TBWA in São Paulo, Brazil, for a local radio station’s Jazzmasters program. The headline reads, “We play only black music.” Thus the Klansman’s pose—he just can’t stand listening to the stuff. Another ad in the series shows the Klan dude taking a cigarette lighter to a transistor radio. Using the Ku Klux Klan as a punch line seems oh maybe just a little tasteless. Link via Creative Brain.
